While patroling their beats shortly after

Delaney heard screams Of "Murder!'

1856 Main street, kept by Bette Davis.
The officers ran upand were informed that
a man had beaten one OF the inmates.
The man had gone out OF the rear en-
trance, and was running when the officers
saw him. He was fleeing up the alley be-
tween Exchange and Market streets, and
the officers gave chase. The man made
for the river, and at Exchange street fell
over the bluff, which is about twenty feet
high. The officers found him lying
on the ground, but he was
not ba,iiy hurt. At the station-house he
was Mt once recognized, being an ''old
timer" His name il Jack Schooner, and
he has been arrested on different charges,
but always managed TO escape justice.
Last night he went into the house men
toned and attempted TO cut Fannie Cross,
one o. the inmates, with q knife. Failing
in this, he picked up a chair
and with all his might struck the woman
in the side, telling her to the floor. lie
would have struck her again, but, hearing
that the police were coming, he fled. II
il not known how badly the woman is
hurt, M at midnight no physician had at.
tended her. Schooner was locked up on
the charge of assault and battery with in

-
Not through party conventions but
through q town-meeting should the ciii-
zons of the Taxing District express lhom-
selves when preparing for an election. The
distinction is vital. 1t was the idea Of the
founders OF the form OF government; which
Memphis nov enjoys, and which has been
so fruitful Of gratifying results, that party
politics should bc kept out OF il. Although
the forfeiture OF the charter was the out
como OF a catastrophe, those who con.
ceived the new method Of municipal gov
eminent were men Of progressive ideas.
They had studied the causes OF the catas-
trophc and perceived that the forces which
had wrecked Memphis were the same
which had brought the government Of so
many American cities into disrcpuje, the
only difference being that in Memphis
they had been allowed greater license and
had worked greater hardship, because
Memphis had suffered misfortuncs of a
peculiar mature. When the change was
made, the Commissioners were selected
from amongthose men who dahighsoci
and commercial standing, and these were
the determining qualifications. Up to this
time their SUCCESSORS have been chosen ON
this basis alonc' Nobody, until n month
ago, had ever had the iemcri,y to propose
that political utilization should be II consid-
Grafton In the selection Of these officers.
1t had been clearly demonstrated
that government by business men
was better than government by poll
ticians. Tho experiment had been
watched closely by students Of the science
Of municipal government everywhere, and
Memphis had been held mp M a splendid
example Of success consequent upon the
exclusion Of politics from the adminisira-
ton Of city affairs. We believe that not
one good reason can be given for rcintro-
ducing politics into the local government.
Certainly mono has yet been al
yanccd. To do 80 now would be-
to effect n revolution simply for royo-
l%ulion's sake. Tho responsibility for
the change should not be regarded
lightly, and for any Democrat or repre-
sentative committee Of the Democratic
party TO sock TO make tho Democratic
party responsible for the change would be
To put the party in n very dangerous posi-
ton. No ono can successfully maintain
that Il is good politics to make the
Democratic party carry this I'M
necessary load, and, men and
brethren, when w ara talking
politics, let us talk politics. Asgood Dem
ocrats, let rs rather keep next November
before our eyes, and refrain from all won.
lures which may, In the slightest degree,
impcril the chances Of Democratic success
In the county and State then. There is
nothing to be gained by making the Dem
ocratic party responsible for wantonly in
tenering In the orderly and satisfactory

pal government in Memphis, but a gres,
